Macworld is reporting that Adobe has discontinued operations of the GoLive product. GoLive was a visual HTML editor that, when launched, was popular with the designer crowd. The integration with the other Adobe applications (PhotoShop, Illustrator, etc.) was pretty good and overall the application did pretty well.

It’s interesting to note that in the late 90s visual editors were all the rage. Today it seems hand coding is back in style. Those who don’t handcode seem to use tools like WordPress where no HTML is required to get up and running.
